I love this book! It's my favourite in the series so far for sure!!

Lyra is incredible! Such a strong FMC! She's been dealt a pretty rubbish hand but doesn't let it get her down, she still goes after her goals! 

I love it!

This is a new author to me and this is the first book that I read of hers.

And let me just say that Beau couldn’t be more perfect! I mean, I had expected him to be all ‘I’m above everyone else and you would do what I said you would do’ vibe!!! NOT AT ALL!!!! He’s a very caring and protective character!

Holy. Shit. I love this series so damn much and I swear they just keep getting better. I’ve been excited for Beau’s story since we first met him in Savage Rose. I always felt that there was more to him than what we saw, and I really wanted to get to know him better. Beau is just *chef’s kiss* perfect. He’s sweet and caring, not to mention protective and I love seeing him with Lyla. I love the fact that Lyla is a new character and oh how I feel for this girl. She’s strong, determined, feisty, and not afraid to stand up for herself. However, her upbringing makes it difficult to let people in, so I loved seeing her start to open up to Beau and letting his friends begin to be her friends. I really hope that she completely opens up to Beau in the next book and comes to trust him in the next book.

Can I just say that Leila knows how to write a mean girl! This go round we get introduced to Mandy, who is jealous because not only is Lyla better at gymnastics than she is, but Mandy also wants Beau all for herself. Which naturally means that she has it in for Lyla. A genuinely great surprise in this book was how we see Aria. She’s actually nice to Lyla so we get to see this new side to Aria and makes me hopeful for what we see from her in the future.

I’ve already said that I love the series so obviously I love this book. You know what I like about this one more than the first book in the other duets? The fact that the cliffhanger didn’t leave me crying. It definitely had me saying ooooooh shit, that’s not good, but I didn’t feel like my heart was breaking, so I appreciate that. Okay, on to Fallen Rose so I can see how this mess is going to resolve itself!

Leila James, what have you done to me AGAIN?! I knew some kind of cliffhanger was coming but I didn’t expect this!!

I’ve wanted to know more about Beau since Xander and Scarlett’s first book. He always seemed so sweet and he didn’t disappoint in this book. I was swooning at how protective and kind he was. His character evolved into everything I thought he would and more.

I love how different this book was to the rest of the series, as it wasn’t a bully romance, but one between two people from completely different worlds, who right from the beginning fad amazing chemistry.

Lyla is a different kind of heroine to Daphne and Scarlett, as she doesn’t believe she’s worthy of Beau or his friends because of her past.

But when her former life and her present life collide it’s only going to end in fireworks, right?

Leila James has blown it out of the water with another well written book in this series. I constantly want to know more about every character.

This book is gripping, angsty in places and also swoon worthy.

Highly recommended.

PS Can you please write Aria’s story, that girl needs a HEA!!
